Description Also known as 'moonflower', Datura is an essential ingredient in love potions and is known to induce visions and a trance-like state. Datura has aphrodisiac qualities and fittingly, its white flowers open at nighttime, glowing in the moonlight. Featuring ten flowers, we envisioned this fragrance to be a voluptuous super-floral tinged with a platinum luminosity, but a bit drunken due to the addition of dark rum. As it was used for Lunar worship, ours is an homage to Diana, goddess of the moon and hunt.

Robert E. ★★★★★

The rum and davana give this a boozy warmth that keeps the florals from turning soapy, and the tuberose is lush without being a diva about it. Lasts a solid six hours on my skin, which is more than I expected from a soft floral.

David R. ★★★☆☆

The tuberose and magnolia come through nicely at first, but after about an hour it turns into a fairly generic soft floral on my skin. The mandarin opening is pretty while it lasts, though.
